The Coven (2015)
After sitting through a lecture on witchcraft, a group of English school girls decide to sneak into Queenswood on Halloween to camp out for the night. Yet, as their celebration winds down, they unwittingly find themselves exploited by a witch controlling their fate. The Coven is an English horror movie directed by John Mackie, featuring Dexter Fletcher. The poster for the movie looks similar to The Craft and suggests a film about a group of girls getting involved with witchcraft. While the plot involves witchcraft, the story takes a different direction than the poster suggests and is more about girls being lost in the woods. While most of the cast are young, they all seem believable as classmates, but the story is disjointed and relies too much on nepotism. The Coven is a spooky Halloween-centric story that misleads its audience into thinking it is ripping off The Craft while it is instead borrowing much of its story from the Blair Witch Project.
